        Claude and Louris are "giraffes (長(zhǎng)頸鹿)". So are police officers Hankins and Pearson. These men and
women don't look like giraffes; they look like you and me. Then, why do people call them "giraffes"?
        A giraffe, they say, is an animal that sticks (伸出) its neck out, can see places far away and has a large
heart. It lives a quiet life and moves about in an easy and beautiful way. In the same way, a "giraffe" can be a
person who likes to "stick his or her neck out" for other people, always watches for future happenings, has a
warm heart for people around, and at the same time lives a quiet and beautiful life himself or herself.
         "The Giraffe Project (工程)" is a 10-year-old group which finds and honors (表彰) "giraffes" in the US
and in the world. The group wants to teach people to do something to build a better world. The group members
believe that a person shouldn't draw his or her head back; instead, they tell people to "stick their neck out" and
help others. Claude and Louris, Hankins and Pearson are only a few of the nearly 1,000 "giraffes" that the group
found and honored.
          Claude and Louris were getting old and they left their work with some money that they saved for future
use. One day, however, they saw a homeless man looking for a place to keep warm and they decided that they
should "stick their neck out" and give him some help. Today, they lived in Friends' House, where they invite
twelve homeless people to stay every night.
          Police officers Hankins and Pearson work in a large city. They see crimes (犯罪)every day and their
work is sometimes dangerous. They work hard for their money. However, these two men put their savings
together and even borrowed money to start an educational (教育的)center to teach young people in a poor part
of the city. Hankins and Pearson are certainly "giraffes".
1. Which of the following is true?
[     ]
A. Some of the people around us look like giraffes.
B. Giraffes are the most beautiful animal in the world.
C."Giraffes" is a beautiful name for those who are ready to help other people.
D. A"giraffe" is someone who can stick his neck out and see the future.
2. "The Giraffe Project" is a group _____.
[     ]
A. of police officers
B. which appeared ten years ago
C. of ten-year-old children
D. which takes care of children
3. People call Claude and Hankins "giraffes" because they _____.
[     ]
A. do what is needed for a good world
B. are not afraid of dangerous work
C. found a home for some homeless people
D. made money only for other people
4. What does "The Giraffe Project" do?
[     ]
A. It tells people how to live a quiet life.
B. It helps the homeless and teaches the young people.
C. It tries to find 1,000 warm-hearted people in the US.
D. It shows people what their duty is for a better world.
5. The passage mainly tries to tell us _____.
[     ]
A. what giraffes are like
B. what the Giraffe Project is
C. why Claude, Louris, Hankins and Pearson are called "giraffes"
D. what we should do for a better world

     There is a handsome boy. He has golden hair and a pair of big blue eyes. But he looks very sad. He is thin and weak because he suffers from AIDS.
     In healthy human bodies, the immune system(免疫系統(tǒng)) protects them from diseases. But when one gets the AIDS virus(病毒) in his/her body it attacks and destroys the immune system, and the body then is helpless against diseases. And the patient will die of this or that disease.
     But you don't have to worry too much about being with the boy. The AIDS virus can't live outside his body, and it can't travel through the air. You don't need to be afraid to touch him, either.
     Children with AIDS need help from other children. They need to have friends to play with. Let's try our best to do something for them.
